Chilly Morning Commute With Wide Temperature Ranges; Cold Wave Advisories Issued for Taebaek and Pyeongchang

As the new week begins today (October 6), a cold wind is blowing during the morning commute, making it feel chilly, so you should make sure to wear a warm outer layer.

Due to cold air flowing in from the north, the first cold wave advisories of this autumn were issued last night for Pyeongchang and Taebaek in Gangwon Province.

Temperatures have plummeted by nearly 10°C (18°F) compared to yesterday morning, with Daegwallyeong currently at 1.7°C (35°F) and Taebaek at 4.7°C (40°F).

Accordingly, special care is needed in inland Gangwon Province and the northeastern mountainous areas of Gyeongsangbuk-do to prevent cold-weather crop damage.

Seoul and most other regions are also seeing temperatures distribution ranging from 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F).

However, temperatures will rise to around 20°C (68°F) during the middle of the day, creating a wide daily temperature range of around 15°C (27°F).

Strong winds are expected to blow in most parts of the country until this morning.

Skies nationwide will be mostly clear today.
